Just One Wish

Tara Stillman was my first love.
And I was hers.

We broke up to chase our dreams-hers steady and close to home, mine loud and far away.

I became a world-famous drummer.
She became a veterinarian.

Years later, I'm scrolling social media and realize we're both in the Hamptons. Same town. Same summer. That's not coincidence-it's fate daring me to try again.

So I borrow my friend's dog and walk into Tara's office like I never left.

Seeing her brings everything rushing back-the history, the longing, the way she still feels like home.

I lost her once chasing the wrong dream. I'm not making that mistake again.

I want a second chance with the woman who got away.
And this time, I'm not letting her go.
